I was out walking the dog in the countryside when I noticed what appeared to be a cabbage white butterfly! Strange thinks I,there aint any brassica plants anywhere about.

As it looked so beautiful and seemed out of place I decided to take a closer look. It had black spots and black wing tips.

Was it just a common or garden cabbage white or was it something a bit special I wonder?

PS Just answered my own question as I have now had a look through google images and it appears it WAS a cabbage white!..........Still I'll never look at them in the same way again!
